Abstract: A general plasticity model is developed which is able to predict a cyclic strain accumulation phenomenon, sometimes called cyclic creep. To assess the consequences of the phenomenon for ...

Abstract: Approximate expressions for the fluid forces acting on a central, rigid rod translating periodically in a finite length annular region of confined fluid are derived from the Navier-Stokes equations ...

Abstract: Thermal ratcheting has been analytically investigated for a beam element subjected to a linear temperature variation across its solid rectangular cross section. A linear strain-hardening material ...

Abstract: Analytical comparisons are made between the thermal ratcheting response of a kinematic hardening material, a perfectly plastic, and an isotropic hardening material for a two-element assembly. ...

Abstract: The steady-state responses to a point load moving with constant velocity on an elastic beam which rests on two types of idealized strain-hardening foundations are considered. The one-dimensional ...

Abstract: Eccentricity of a specific slip-joint design separating two cantilevered telescoping tubes did not create any self-excited lateral vibrations that had not been observed for a concentric slip ...

Abstract: This paper presents guidelines for flow-induced vibration analysis of tubes and tube bundles such as those commonly encountered in steam generators, heat exchangers, condensers and nuclear fuel ...
